The new Covid variant XEC is on the road to become the new dominant strain, beating its predecessors with its increased infectibility. In addition to being more efficient in infecting people, experts have observed that the recombinant variant of descendants of JN. 1 strain is displaying more intense flu-like symptoms with a high temperature, a cough, aching body, and headache, something which could make people exhausted and 'wipe them out'. This is raising concern as the flu season is about to begin which could make things difficult for people with low immunity and other vulnerable population groups.
